Big change ahead...
Here's where i'm finding myself right now: I'm a 22 year old girl on the verge of some big changes. I'm going to graduate from college (USC) in under two months with degrees in Spanish and Social Sciences (emphasis in psychology). It was an achievement for me to choose a major (originally it was undecided, then just spanish... why? because i wanted to have the opportunity to study abroad...), but now, i'm faced with choosing my LIFE. I can do anything!
The Peace Corps is something that i've wanted to do since high school. The desire has waned and weaned over the years, but it has always been present. And now, here i am: graduating from college, trying to figure out what to do with myself, in the prime of my life, with not a thing in the world holding me back. This is the perfect time for me to follow through and begin applying. And so, that it was i am doing.
Currently i'm working on the first stage of my application process. Gathering all the information needed, working on my essays, figuring out who my references will be , etc. Its exciting... but its also a bit scary. I should be turning in my part of the app and my reference requests by the end of this week... Wish me luck!
In the meantime, i'm moving back home to NYC at the end of May. Actually gonna turn it into a cross country road trip with two of my best friends! Its gonna be a blast and i can't wait! (Fingers crossed that my little '95 Cabrio makes it!!).
